Model with curls
Owners of curly hair can also draw asymmetry on their hair, but short bangs are better avoided as far as possible. Of course, in this case it will not be possible to achieve clear graphic lines, but unevenly distributed curls harbor their own special charm.
How to choose?
Asymmetry, as a rule, is selected taking into account the shape of the face. For round, choose options "front-rear", in this version the front curls remain elongated, reaching the maximum trait - for example, to the middle of the neck, and the back of the head is cut much shorter. Here, a variant of beveled bangs is possible - in both cases, the face is visually stretched and becomes oval.
For owners of a triangular shape, it is important to soften the sharp features and level the existing imbalance. In this case, you should not unduly take a great interest in elongated strands around your face and cut off too thick even bangs, the shaven head will also serve the best service. There will be optimal soft, slightly noticeable asymmetry - for example, a fringe combed to the side and uneven graduation.
Oval type of face is considered to be ideal, in terms of proportions, because women with this type of appearance can be solved on any beauty experiments. Here an ultrashort hairstyle, unevenly trimmed side strands, a shaven temple in combination with a shock of hair from the opposite side are allowed.
For ladies with square faces, it is very important to make a haircut that would mask the excessive weight and massiveness of the chin, its angularity, so preference should be given to asymmetries with shaped curls and as smooth as possible transitions. Clear lines and straight cuts are best avoided. Keep in mind that it is better for such women to make haircuts that reach the chin so that the curls frame the cheekbones - this will visually round the lower zone. Ultrashort options are out of place here.
The choice of hairstyle is largely due to the peculiarities of the hair. So, for thick curls, special attention should be paid to the thinning, since heavy hair requires additional volume - only this way the hairstyle becomes aesthetic and a feeling of lightness appears on the head.
For thin hair, asymmetrical short strands can be a real salvation - this hair looks faded, almost does not give volume, while it becomes very electrified and grows back with difficulty. Any asymmetrical haircuts here should assume a multi-layered, it is better to give preference to the cap - in this case the strands will look bulky and fluffy.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of the optimal model bangs. Most often, women choose short diagonal variants, such bangs are made on fairly thick, straight and hard hair. With the right approach, a flat diagonal line is formed, the edges of which are machined with thinning scissors with fine teeth.
This is a good option for those women who do not want to lose volume in their hair - they better combine asymmetric bangs with a bob or bob, however, in combination with a cascade, such options also look quite attractive. Keep in mind that for owners of wavy hair these haircuts are not used, as they will require everyday styling using irons and other thermal straighteners.
Diagonal functional bangs are considered the best solution for heavy dense curls, completely devoid of any lightness and dynamism, in addition, it fits thin rare strands.Such a haircut is usually combined with multi-tone coloring, due to which the illusion of pomp on the head is formed. Laying this bang does not require any special tools - it is easy to make by hand.
Asymmetrical long bangs look harmoniously on ladies with round and oval faces, usually it is formed starting from the top of the head. A combination of short and longer bangs is considered to be a very effective solution suitable for ovals of any type of face. In this case, the short is cut off near the base of the forehead and gently connected to the elongated bangs, decorated on the sides.
Scheme and technique
It is best to cut an asymmetrical haircut in a beauty salon with a professional master, with insufficient experience it is very easy to cross the line that separates the fashion trend from untidiness. In the simplest form, creating an asymmetrical hairstyle for short strands involves several basic steps.
- A straight edging is formed along the lower part of the occipital region, and the occipital part is cut exactly along the vertical partitions, preferably with a graduation, so that the length of the strand in the upper part of the occiput increases, and very sharply.
- Next, form a parting, which runs parallel to the direction of growth of curls - this allows you to select a thin strand and then carefully trim it. Thus, a shortened bang smoothly flows into the whiskey of the desired length.
- The head is divided into 2 areas of different sizes. To do this, make a part as close as possible to the temple, which is planned to be shortened.
- A haircut is made from the top towards the forehead, the bangs cannot be guided by the total length of the strands. When conducting a haircut, it is imperative to do the edging of the temporal zone, by the way, you should not be guided by it either.
- At the last stage, a large zone is cut, usually the “strand-on-strand” technique is used.
Care
The shortened asymmetrical haircut has a lot of advantages - it rejuvenates the woman, makes the look more spectacular and attractive. In addition, such haircuts do not need a long and time-consuming styling - just wash your hair and ruffle your hair slightly, then lay with styling tools. But there is one subtlety: as soon as the hair grows, even very little, the hairstyle should be adjusted, otherwise the image will be hopelessly spoiled.
Deciding on the asymmetry in her hair, a woman undertakes a number of obligations to care for her strands. Any styling necessarily requires fixing agents - mousses, foams or wax. Often they use brushing or, if a graduated asymmetry is formed on the head, an iron.
All this means that the hair is subjected to constant thermal effects, which increases brittleness and leads to dry hair. As a result, they need constant use of masks, serums and balms. In addition, you will have to wash your hair as often as possible, because you can no longer hide the greasy curls in a ponytail, bun or braid, as is the case with long hair.
